Paramedic Care: Principles and
Practice, Trauma
A targeted records and physical examination for a patient with a massive mechanism of
injury differs from that of the affected person and not using a full-size mechanism of damage
in that: - ANS-with a good sized mechanism of harm, spinal stabilization strategies are
continually performed.
Abrasion - ANS-scraping or abrading away of the superficial layers of the pores and skin; an
open smooth-tissue injury.
Afterload - ANS-The resistance a contraction of the heart must triumph over so that it will
eject blood; in cardiac physiology, described because the anxiety of cardiac muscle for the
duration of systole (contraction). Also called peripheral vascular resistance.
Babinkski Reflex - ANS-Occurs while the ft flow upward in response to stimulation of the only
of the foot (positive). Under normal occasions, the ft flow downward.
Central Nervous System - ANS-Consists of the mind and spinal wire.
Describe the rule of thumb of nine's for an person. - ANS-Head - nine
Chest - 18
Back - 18
Arms - 9
Legs - 18
Genitalia - 1
Describe the rule of thumb of nine's for an infant. - ANS-Head - 18
Chest - 18
Back - 18
Legs - 13.Five
Arms - nine
Genitalia - 1
Does helmet use assist with c-spine prevention or injury? - ANS-Helmets lessen head
damage occurrence and severity in many cases. Helmet use, but, neither will increase nor
decreases the prevalence or severity of spinal trauma.
Evaluation - ANS-manner of repeating the surveillance that happened before an intervention
to become aware of benefits of the intervention.
Factors affecting power trade among a projectile and frame tissue: - ANS--Velocity
-Profile
, -Shape
-Stability
-Expansion
-Fragmentation
-Secondary Impacts
GCS Scale - ANS-Eyes, Motor, Speech. EYES (4): Spontaneous- 4, To voice- three, To
ache- 2, None- 1. MOTOR (6): Obeys commands- 6, Localizes pain- five, Withdraws from
pain- 4, Decorticate- three, Decerebrate- 2, None- 1. SPEECH (5): Oriented- five, Confused-
four, Inappropriate- 3, Sounds (garbled, mumbling, and so on)- 2, None, 1. *Your pt will
always be 3 or greater.
Golden Period - ANS-the concept that it is vital to hasten care and shipping to a trauma
middle for the severely injured trauma patient; replaces the previous time period Golden
Hour, which became now not supported by clinical proof, and the understanding that some
sufferers want to attain surgical operation in much less than an hour from the time of injury
even as others do not.
GSW - ANS-The maximum vital component for the seriousness of a gunshot wound is the
type of tissue via which the projectile passes. Tissues of high elasticity like muscle, is better
capable of tolerate stretch, as opposed to the liver.
Haddon matrix - ANS-a three-by means of-3 matrix that identifies host, agent, and
environmental elements affecting the occurrence and seriousness of ailment (or trauma) at
some point of the pre-event, event, and post-event time frames.
Impaled object - ANS-foreign body embedded in a wound.
Implementation - ANS-The act of setting an intervention into exercise. It can consist of
enforcing legal guidelines, reducing speed limits in risky areas, modifying highways to be
safer, constructing safer autos, and many others.
Index of suspicion - ANS-the anticipation of damage to a frame vicinity, organ, or shape
based totally on analysis of the mechanism of injury. This index is a mental summation of
suspected accidents primarily based to your occasion analysis.
Injury Prevention - ANS-The satisfactory and maximum cost powerful way to lessen trauma
morbidity and mortality.
Intervention Development - ANS-development or modification of packages to reduce both
the occurrence and the seriousness of trauma.
Laceration - ANS-an open wound, usually a tear with jagged borders.
Level I - ANS-Level I Trauma Center is a comprehensive local aid that may be a tertiary care
facility relevant to the trauma system. A Level I Trauma Center is able to supplying total care
for each element of damage - from prevention thru rehabilitation.
